The photo is of a 2N256 germanium power transistor made by Electronics Transistors. The “314” date code means that it was made during the 14th week of 1963. So this transistor turned 50 years old sometime during early April. I haven’t tried to hook it up, but it’s just cool to think that if it does work, it’s been fifty years since it was born and it’s still working. That is more than could be said about a lot of other things especially electronics stuff.
